Crispy Baked Garlic Tofu
Tofu is baked until crispy and then tossed in a thick, Chinese-style stir-fry garlic sauce.
Ingredients
- 1 (14-oz) block firm tofu, cut into bite-sized cubes
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tbsp low sodium soy sauce
- 1 tsp onion powder
- 1/2 tbsp cornstarch + 5 tbsp water
- 1 1/2 tbsp light brown sugar
- 1 tsp sriracha sauce
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 400°F. Place tofu pieces on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or silicone baking mat. Bake tofu for about 35-40 minutes until golden and crisp around the edges, flipping tofu halfway through.
- When tofu is almost done, make the sauce. In a small saucepan over medium heat, add garlic, soy sauce, onion powder, brown sugar and sriracha. Add cornstarch and water to a small bowl and mix until cornstarch is fully dissolved. Add the saucepan. Bring to a gentle boil and stir until everything is completely mixed and sauce has thickened. If your sauce is too thick, you can add another 1 tbsp of water to thin it slightly.
- Add tofu to saucepan and coat with sauce. Serve while warm. You can serve with rice if desired. You can also garnish with fresh chopped scallions.
